Celebrate Luis’ Birthday: Help Build The Next Chapter

September is a very special month for Walkabout as we celebrate our co-founder Luis’ 51st birthday.

This year also marks an exciting new chapter, as we work to establish Walkabout Foundation República Dominicana.

As the home of our co-founders’ family, this programme is especially meaningful to us. The Dominican Republic has always held a special place in our story. We carried out our first regional distribution in the country in 2010 and, since then, have provided more than 920 wheelchairs to adults and children in need.

Now, we’re taking the next step.

We are working to establish a permanent Walkabout Centre in Dajabón, near the border with Haiti, creating a local hub for wheelchair assembly, repairs, rehabilitation and community outreach. Our Centre will allow us to not only serve communities in the Dominican Republic, but also continue supporting neighbouring Haiti.

We invite you to celebrate Luis’ 51st birthday by helping us bring Walkabout Foundation República Dominicana to life. Make a donation in honour of Luis and leave him a personal message below.
